Almost did the Post Weekly!

Woohoo - this weekend was a bit of a wash due to Mother in Law being in, wife having a rough week with the baby (cute little bugger is dancing to the Ramons right now), as well as the work week being long. It meant no real artwork done due to the time frame but I have some from last week to throw down. I got a few things to do this week too art wise so hopefully I can get it done.

Let's do a paint list
Me
Drop Pod 5 - primed the old one again to paint up to match the others.
Build 20 Purifiers at some point
Noise Marine Art
2 More pieces of Art for Luis
Art for Caleb for an army idea
Maybe something else?

James L
Heldrake - should be almost done tonight then this lot is done!

Tim
6 Black Knights
1 Speeder

John
12 Bikers of the Dark Angel

Carl
More bikers of the grey marine type

Will
More Chaos stuff

Luis
Drop pod X 2
more necromunda stuffs.

I am sure other stuff too - but I always work.

I am pretty much screwed this month with 40k events due to baby stuff. So many people have kids in this time frame... that means that people were having some winter holiday action going on. Woohoo!

Basically a big blob of dumb with all the rules that make it dumb. It has some immunities to Grav guns due to its 6+ armor save nature etc. Plus it has a Warlord that is hard to get rid of if the tithe starts working. If Tau ignore a ton of cover then he isn't worth it but it is an idea. Plus it has a ton of magic. It might be good to have Force Staves in hopes to pop a WK but who knows. The big squad will generate blood tithe as it kills stuff. The dragons too.

This is what I played at War-games Con with mind magic added. It seems to help out in those match ups where making a Knight invisible might be really strong. I didn't try to add in a Dark Shroud due to the preroll 2+ not having in ITC stuff.

Another super friends combo. Things that start to get nutty - one Unit is Sammie, CR Chapter Master, CR Command Squad, Rune Priest, Iron Priest. The other is the Ravenwing Command, WGBL, Iron Priest, Libbie. With the Dark Shroud near them - the Dark Angels get Shroud which transfers to the unit - thus the CR Command now has a 2+ Jink Save as well. Plus they all get Skilled Rider. It is a pretty nutty list too haha. Just too big moving blogs of annoyance.

This is a weird one - it might work. Either way it looks good and gets me to make a bunch of Drop Pods. Which of course will make me do more drop pods too for the other random army with Drop Cents. Meh it is just a weird no cover nova nonsense.

Might try to get to an event this Sunday. Will have to play it by ear. If I did I would probably do the 2 knight list cuz I like stomping around with the Knights. I don't think the new Tau thing is the best - but using it as an anti assault star unit with massed stomps from 2 guys might be good.
